Parmesan Crusted Chicken with a Creamy Lemon-Chive Sauce + a Giveaway!

Parmesan Crusted Chicken with a Creamy Lemon-Chive Sauce

With the Presidential Election just around the corner, and all the other state elections going on I am just so ready to be done with the commercials. Don’t get me wrong, being proactive in politics is great… but please! I need the commercials to stop. It’s so depressing. I just want to see more Old Navy commercials about jeans and lots more of Brad Pitt promoting Chanel No. 5. {because that just makes sense} What we all really need are more {Read More}

Grilled Lemon & Cilantro Shrimp

grilled shrimp skewers

Grilling season is upon us. Especially here in Arizona. It’s so hot outside, the thought of cranking on the oven inside makes me sweat. The other day The Man brought home some shrimp and lobster that he bought from a guy on the side of the road. {we’re still alive, so I’m guessing it was legit} We don’t live that far from Mexico, and there is a little beach town called Rocky Point (Puerto Pinasco) that has fresh shrimp and {Read More}

Strawberry Pineapple Popsicles

It’s getting warm here in Arizona. So we did the logical thing and put our above ground pool up. I love swimming, and I love going swimming with my kids. But can you imagine me at a community pool trying to manage all 4 children at once? Yeah, not gonna happen. Having a pool in our backyard is easier for me. That way when the little babies are taking naps I can put up the baby monitor, and sneak into the backyard {Read More}

Greek Salmon with Tzatziki Sauce

DSC06499

If you are looking for a quick and fancy meal to prepare, look no further. Salmon is one of my favorite fish. Many years back The Man went on a fishing expedition to Alaska. It was one of those “once-in-a-lifetime” kind of trips with his brothers that he just couldn’t pass up. I allowed this because he came home with 75 pounds of Halibut and 25 pounds of Salmon. Lets just say I have cooked Salmon and Halibut in more {Read More}

Creamy Dill Dressing

066

I made like a ba-jillion resolutions this year. One of them was to shed a few L-B’s by cutting back on some indulgences of mine, and eating more fruits and veggies. I am sure that I am not the only one out there wanting to lose some weight, so lucky for you I am going to be posting quite a few healthy, yet tasty recipes over the next few months. Mixed with a few bad ones… Everyone has a moment of weakness once and awhile. {Read More}

Lemon Pudding Cake

061

I need a panic room. One with sound proof walls, a little fridge, and maybe a shower? I don’t think that’s too much to ask for. I would just like {for once} to take a shower without having a child walk into my bathroom and tell me that so-and-so is “trying to throw their shoes at me.” I know you are thinking, ‘why not just lock the door?‘ Well, instead of just irritating banter, I will hear blood piercing screams and {Read More}

Caramel Apple Pie Tartlets

cups

For the past few months I have been thinking non stop about how to create a caramel apple cupcake. Seriously, for a few months now! I love the combination of caramel and apple, and I think it would be insane good wrapped up in a cupcake. I’ve tried a couple times, but I’m still putting together the perfect recipe for you. So in the meanwhile I came up with these cute little treats. I had an extra pie crust in my fridge {Read More}

Spicy Chimichurri Sauce

I introduced this spicy herbal treat to you the other day on my Spicy Garlic Pulled Pork Tacos. Thought you might like to know the recipe… Similar to Pesto, this contains lots of garlic, herbs, and some oil. But Chimichurri also contains one of my favorite ingredients, {which makes it loads different than pesto} vinegar. White Wine Vinegar to be exact. This green condiment is perfect on grilled meats, or any meat for that matter. I have already used it on {Read More}

White Chocolate Lemon Lava Cake

Because I have a passion for white chocolate… Because I have made this the last 4 nights in a row… But mostly because I love ya… I apologize for my lack of new recipes. I have made so many delicious things these past few days, but I lack the proper lighting to share my great-ness. But this one I felt like I had a duty to share. Trust me, this is so worth it! (Disclaimer: If you’re not a fan of {Read More}

Greek Chicken Skillet

I have had an obsession with Greek food lately. I simply love the fresh taste, and the combination of healthy ingredients. I also love it when a meal can be made in one skillet! {less dishes} This one you can throw together in no time! Here’s how you do it: Mince 4 cloves of garlic {fresh is best, but you can always use the canned stuff}, set it aside. In a large skillet heat 1 tbsp of olive oil, then add 1 tsp {Read More}
